Role of the End-To-End Developer

Each chapter in this guide is focused on tasks that are performed in order to deploy applications from the perspectives of various types of users. This is done by providing snippets of code that a person in a particular role can use to solve a particular problem within the context of some larger application. While this approach makes sense for most users, sometimes a single user is fulfilling all roles, and often this person is relatively new to some of the roles. For example, sometimes an expert MATLAB programmer is asked to put something they've worked on up to the Web for others to consume. They may never have used Java or .NET before.

This chapter is aimed specifically at users playing the role of the "one-stop shop" and will go through in relative detail all of the steps needed to build an application from the ground up and get it running successfully.
